For anyone who was concerned — I’ve just cleared immigration at Suvarnabhumi Airport for the sixth time this year. The officer greeted me with a big smile and stamped my passport without a single question. That brings my total stay this year to around 100 days, never exceeding 25 days and always returns to my home town.

Conclusion- if you are a legitimate tourist, there is no need to worry about the new immigration rules .

I think our Grab driver is completely lost. He keeps stopping to ask people and he’s spoken to our hotel twice but still doesn’t seem to know where we’re going. He said the map was wrong on the app when I put the hotel’s address in. No clue where we are or what to do now.

UPDATE - We are at the hotel. He stopped about 5 times and called the hotel three times and eventually I managed to persuade him to use my phone and Apple Maps which did show it correctly. His phone didn’t show it right and Grab didn’t show it right either.
